Egotistical move by BCB. They know that they are in big mess and they want to come out of it quickly. So they reduced Shakib's ban but made sure that he doesn't get to earn big. Jealousy and grudge at its best

You are right that we can only assume about his political orientation. And for this simple reason no one should mention politics as a reason of his punishment.

Alright, we will have a civil discussion about this. I didn't miss the point completely. Matter of fact, I think you are holding up a mirror. Reread my post please. I quoted you where you made mistakes.

Second, by the definition, Politics is influencing people. It could be against family members (family politics), villagers (village politics), party politics (Jashod, BAL, Bhashani NAP), simple politics to get an advantageous position, or get out of a jam.

The punishment handed down by Papon and his cronies was to neutralize and trying to "get out of jam" politics. Not Party politics as in BAL or Jashod or etc. Still no comprende?

Third, do not put words on my mouth that I didn't say. Never claimed in "complete innocent" and never said "he does not deserve any punishment."

Meaningless talk?

On any type of disciplinary hearing, emotion has no room in factoring verdict. It always lead to wrong verdict. I am not making this up. Papon himself said that in the press release (we have a video). "Amra shobai emotion hoiye porsilam." Obviously we know it was a wrong verdict cause they are cutting back on the punishment.

Not good enough. Either retract or stand by your decision instead of wobbling. They should completely withdraw it as there was no reason for suspension to begin with other than a power mongering cult giving us eyewash of dubious incident that took place behind the scene. The fact they reduced it shows they are back tracking and hiding their serious offense.

If Sakib performs oil against Zim then he can also ask to reduce the ban on international leagues.

What if Shakib just retires from cricket? What will BCB and Papon do then?
If Shakib stops playing cricket, there wont be any player from BD to play in IPL, CPL, Big Bash
or county cricket. We wont have any player in the top 10 in any category, specially all rounder.
Sponsors will slowly leave, making BCB run out of money in no time.

Yes, Shakib is just on player, but if it was not for some awful dumb captaincy and poor head coaching
with totally ineffective gameplans, we could have won a lot more matches.

Well said. I agree that no one should be above rules but they could have managed their best player better. There should have been more communication from the board before taking such a harsh decision.
They have created unnecessary controversy and lost creditability in Shakib saga.

This case is just an illustration of what going wrong in Bangladesh: people who make the decision, run the country are not selected for their individual merits or skills but thanks to their connection...end of the day they make a mess of everything.
